Apparently this game has upset the Kennedy family, but what I would like to know is what the American people on this board (or anybody else for that matter) thinks about it. The game makers have offered a cash prize to anyone who can accurately reproduce the "magic bullet" moment from Lee Harvey Oswald.

I think it's stupid.
I happen to think that this "game" will grow more popular due to its controversial nature. It will be interesting to hear what other people think - not just Americans - regarding this.
I also heard on the news that this game has educational benefits. This I seriously doubt.

I think it's horrible. I can't believe someone would be so cruel and disrespectful to a wonderful man and his tragic death. I think everyone should boycott that game. Someone has to have a sick mind to call that "fun."
I am DISGUSTED.

Apparently its supposed to prove that Oswold was a lone gunman...
Not quite sure what to make of it actually! Normally I'm interested in stuff about this, The Men Who Killed Kennedy series was very good...

Why not create a "Slap Saddam Silly" game?

Because it would not nearly be controversial enough.

Just clicked on the link you supplied and had to laugh at the "debate" going on over there stirred up by someone called "stonedwolf" and "Da Jesus". Excellent stuff
Recently I watched a very good documentary of The Discovery Channel about all the physical theories prooving the existance of that "magic bullet" as well, as the possibility of a second gunman who might have fired a forth shot.
The hired a team of professionals on ballistics and forensics, as well as 3D animators who helped recreate the events.

Wasn't this issue dissected on History Channel a few months ago?
There's been quite some good documentaries on The History Channel about the JFK assasination.
The one I saw on The Discovery Channel never talked about the countless number conspiracy theories behind whether Oswald acted alone or who hired him.
It was basically about the physical fact behind the assasination.

I think this shows how JFK is more of a commodity than a person. If his death had not been filmed, people would be more respectful. But for some reason, the fact that we can watch him murdered over and over again enures us.
Back and to the left. Back and to the left. Back and to the left.

Everything plays a significant role on making JFK's probably the most controversial assasination in history.
The fact that his death was filmed is one, but most of all because of the whole mystery behind what was behind the assasination of the most powerful man on earth.
Over 40 years after his death nobody still knows 100% for sure whether Oswald killed him or not, and if he did, did he act alone, whether he killed JFK for his own convictions or was hired by someone for the job. There's a thousand questions to be asked, and the fact that the government itself has kept hidden a lot of information about the incident has brought nothing but motivation from conspiracy theorists to make their own investigations, and bring their own conclusions.

Crap. Does this mean there's going to be a JFK Revolutions? 'cause I haven't seen the first one yet.
